This weekend will see heavy rain and showers, with some brief periods of respite
Met Éireann has predicted a washout weekend weather forecast with heavy showers blasting down across the country.
The national forecaster has warned that rain will pour over Friday, Saturday and Sunday, although there will be some patches of hazy sunny spells for a point today and Saturday before rain falls again, Sunday will see widespread showers.
Thankfully, Monday is set to be a bright and fresh day, a mix of sunny spells and scattered showers, but rain will develop throughout the late afternoon and evening, giving way to a mainly dry night. Here is Met Éireann’s weekend forecast:
